[Edu-sig] Continuing old threads...

[kirby urner]

Greetings edu-siggers.

I've continued with threads started here,
brainstormed about, in other places
within our community, or in a trading
post with other language communities.

For example:

Pythonic Algebra
http://controlroom.blogspot.com/2008/01/pythonic-algebra.html
(note link to math-thinking-l)

Rich Data Structures
http://mybizmo.blogspot.com/2008/01/rich-data-structures.html
(we did a lot on that here)

Locally speaking, I'm still mixed up in
the charter schools business, with emerging
ties to Alaska.

Per usual with me (consistent with my
postings in this archive), I'm saying Python
works well as a math learning tool.

Some administrators want to try it, some
of those by training teachers first, others
with no teachers (because of the shortage),
only peers.

Looking forward to Pycon/Chicago,

Kirby
